What’s so fascinating about the web?
Just a quick musing.
I have been working 20 hours a day for the last 2 weeks. The only breaks being; minimal sleep, numerous visits to the shop to buy milk and coffee and a Sunday night with my, long suffering, girlfriend.
Basically I’ve been working out my next move for revamping a, vast, ball of mud, legacy site and bringing it under control of a content management system. In essence, splitting it into an elegant, MVC-based, beauty that maintains the SEO web imprint that hangs over it like a Damocles Sword.
Why am I so captivated by this internet thingy?
If I ever discover something that I don’t understand (and that interests me), I have a tendency to break the idea apart and dig at it until I gain satisfactory understanding. It takes a hold on me. Its like an addiction. My brain seems to ‘physically hurt’ when some of these nagging questions remains unanswered.
The internet has come along and its like a sea full of unanswered questions. Many of the solutions offering massive potential if they are applied well and put to good use. It’s taken hold. But, it’s vast.
In effect, I’m addicted to breaking apart something that is infinite, forever changing and doesn’t actually exist. I haven’t got a hope in hell!
Guess I should re-assess my goals and get a life then. Eh!
